[Sebastian]

Follow-up Comment #21, patch #9439 (project octave):

@Ben: maybe you could install homebrew to see if that works for you?

I agree, some of the includes are superfluous. They are hardcoded in
configure.ac.
I did not change them because older macOS systems might still install stuff
there. 
Probably it's ok to erase them. I do not have
"/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home" nor
"/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/". However,
"/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Headers/" is a
match.

Sorry don't know. I do not seem to need it.
